Good mornevening, Yuming ! 🌅🌃 Amethyst Sage （Salvia/eucantha） is a perennial plant (a hardy perennial/herb) that can survive outdoor in warmer climates. 💜💙😄🤗👌🌴 I posted about amethyst sage on GS on 10/1, 10/19, 2025. 💜💙🌿😆 Your Amethyst Sage flowers are a little redder than mine, and mine are a little purple.🧐🤭👌

If I do’nt hear anything from you, I'll assume you're healthy. 😄🤗👌 I try to eat well, exercise well, and get plenty of sleep.🍚🏃➡️😴✌️ I'll try to go to tatami-bed earlier.🛏️🌃 For dinner tonight, I had motsu-nabe.🍲 Motsu is the small intestine of Japanese Black beef. 🐂🐃😋💦🍴 It is made into a miso soup and simmered in a pot (nabe) with vegetables such as chives and cabbage.🥘🥬🧄👌 In Japan🇯🇵, it is called "Kotecchan" depending on the location.⛰️🏡 I'm about to watch the NHK Taiga drama "Toyotomi Kyodai (Brothers)". Hideyoshi is the Oni-chang of Toyotomi Kyodai. 👬🏯🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne.😴💤🌌

I have known all military bases in Okinawa. I stayed for a long time. Goya. Naha. Yomitan-son, Gushikawa-shi, Nago-shi,…one of my favorite places in 🇯🇵. We will have a nice time together on GS. have a good day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! I happy as both of us are healthy. We will have to watch out our age. ~ not fat food/ no convenient store food. So what shall eat? Today I will have vegetables, Chicken breast. miso soup with Tofu. I eat 4 meals a day. It’s like a small portion a time. 👍. *getting older(younger). 😊

@センサン Good morning! Thank you for a message. Yes. We are looking for to seeing a cute flower. everyday We will have a good time together on GS. Have a nice day! with smile 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you. I was walking ~~ no more. At the last minute I saw this lady. I was so happy to go home. Actually ~ I walk everyday, but I couldn’t see My flowers today. 🙏Everyday is coming. Let’s have a great day! 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. n? 🧐you had a cold?! How ? It’s very rare for us to have a cold/influenza because we are not going the crowded place. I am always safe. It’s still in winter. Take care of yourself. If you have to wear a mask, do not go to the places. 100% safety is staying at home with your family. We had done during COVID-19 pandemic period. 💕have a nice day together!😊
Hello 😉✨ I see. But I'm glad you were able to come across the lovely Salvia leucantha. Today's flower was a single "Wintersweet" in bloom in my garden. The other branches are still full of buds. I wonder if they'll start blooming here and there once we're past the middle of this month. I hope you have a wonderful day today 🐰💗
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. It’s great you take care of your garden. Me, too~😆a little bit. My rose garden…only 4 flowers are blooming nicely. My orange 🍊 tree is pretty 👍 good. I pic up 20~30 to give to my friends. They are ~~ waiting my oranges. Take care of yourself. Have a nice meal, take a lots of water, vegetables and fruits. No stress and have a nice sleep. Good day together! 😊
Yes, thank you very much. It seems that eating 30 different foods a day is good for your body so that you can eat a variety of foods every day. Yumiko's friend, you're looking forward to the oranges 🍊. We love citrus fruits too, so we have "Setoka 🍊," "Satsuma mandarins 🍊," "Sweetie 🍊," as well as "Ponkan 🍊," "Dekopon 🍊," "Meyer lemons 🍋," and "Yuzu" planted in our garden 😉✨ I hope you have a wonderful day today 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for the advice on preventing colds. 🤧🙅♀️💦 Oni-san think you're absolutely right.🙆♀️👌😄 Until now, I thought that if I went to a cold place, I would catch a cold.But actually, that's not the case. We catch a cold from germs in crowded places.🥶🤔😷👥👥😢 If I go skiing, as long as it's not crowded, I won't catch a cold even if it's cold, right ? 😊✌️ Now that you mention it, today January 14th is "Taro and Jiro Day"🐕🦺🦮in Japan.🇯🇵🌞 January 14, 1959, is the day when the survival of the Sakhalin Huskies Taro and Jiro was miraculously confirmed in the cold Antartic continent after nearly a year.🐧🐳🏔️🌊🚢 Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋
